Anyone worried about the impending recession? Looks like a few tech companies are already doing layoffs. Any idea if pharma is usually hit hard? (I’m located in Toronto specifically but want to hear about how other cities are faring too.)

Just got laid off do I need cobra? I plan to hopefully have a job soon

I felt very good following Dana’s Town Hall. Having heard other networks are already facing furloughs and layoffs, did you feel as encouraged?

Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia

Does anyone know the criteria used to determine who is selected to be laid off due to COVID?

Recently freed from the consulting game (starting end of next week) with a great severance and new energy around RE. Closed our first REPE fund last year as well as a sizeable personal portfolio in a large midwestern city, all on the side.
If you’re accredited and interested in putting some $ to work in this super low yield environment, ping me! Ramping up the next fund soon.

What is a good interview answer for leaving a job after a few months when the real reason is that you’re sleeping with one eye open in hopes of not being on the chopping block after two rounds of massive layoffs? Company culture is at an all-time low, and it will only go down from here from what I’ve seen in the short months I’ve been there.

December layoffs anywhere?

Hi Doordash 🐠, has there been discussions of layoffs? Is DD planning on doing any? Thanks, from a potential hire

If I get fired while on OPT without getting my H1-B stamped, is it useless or can it be used in future for some other job?

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Did TBWA/Wildtype have layoffs??

Has anyone here ever been fired for being rude to a customer?

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

One issue with the work from home revolution will be the offshoring of jobs. I got laid off and my replacement will be from Mexico City. One time zone away and probably half my salary. It is what it is.

Dust off contacts and make your rounds

Soft layoffs at ProServe today ?

NDAs - signed my first one as a part of a severance agreement. thinking about leaving an honest review for this company, but unsure about the liabilities that come with this. (NDA mentioned no defamation) leaning on the side of letting it go, but this employer sucked BAD and i want others to know. ik its hard to give a straight answer bc it depends on the agreement, but wheres the line between bad mouthing vs your honest experience?

Just saw a commercial that was definitely filmed in my apartment building in downtown LA. Felt kind of weird.

Getting pushed to do account work as a PM is making me want to scream. And the bullshit let's align on PM expectations meetings when I'm doing my job is driving me up the wall. I'm doing my job....YOU aren't.

Been thrust into being a hyper-consumer recently. Holy shit, every "disruptive" store is the same (Casper, joybird, etc etc). This is a boring age of design and iconography.

Most exotic work travel destination you've ever gone to and for what brand or client?

Managers - do any of you have the ability to check in on your direct reports’ webcams without them knowing to make sure they’re working? The green light next to the camera keeps lighting up on my company computer and I’m getting paranoid haha

@Long-time creative freelancers, please enlighten the masses about why you might make a better staff hire than say, someone with nearly all staff role experience. Help clear up this weird prejudice.
